Hows everyone else making plat these days? With anguish out costing like 8m total for VIIIs surely theres something else out there?
If i told you how Bill Gates earns his money, could you do the same and earn as much?
Completely different situation, Bill Gates took years of hard work and backstabbing to get where he is. It took people here probably days to figure out how to farm plat.
so earning plats is easy on this server, then why are ppl asking stupid questions ??too lazy to even think of an easy problem ?
What seb pointed out is that that money was made through 18main raids earning 360k an hour, which probably took an hour to figure out you could make this single task into a massive raid.
Im not sure if youre trolling, or just lacking......so i'll put it this way. LDON4 charm/plat farming is about 40-50k an hour + points. Velks farmed(trained) in an instance is hovering around 85k-100k an hour. BoT with a single group(not overpowered in my opinion) is 120k an hour on the dot. The difference being the type of farming.
MathEXCLUDING the CG quest to get in, a FSV is 2.5m total. Each knight class, assuming you only use 1 is 2.5m * 3(4.0epic) 7.5mill. Converting that into hours of farming thats 62.5hours of farming plat via group in BoT to gear 1 toon with augs. Velks@90k = 83.3hours LDON@50k= 150 hours
LDON4 we will put at 50k an hour, needing 25 of each charm for your UC, which the paladin benefits the most out of(see other threads to confirm) produces about 2.5k- 3k points / hr farmed(See Xiggies post on UC farm
http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?topic=2273.0) on average with oracle drops added in for luck. Charm upgrades being 2k would mean a total LDON credit need of 200,000 credits(lets say 150-160k needed if you get ALL of your oracles from LDON)
Using xiggies method and 2.7k as an intermediate value the UC farm from LDON takes 74.04 hours of farming per UC *6 for T5 = 444hrs needed
Leaving a gap of 76 hours of farming plat via LDON, now apply that to each character(the math is slightly different but hovers around the same numbers/hours) The remainder of the plat could be made via BOT farm = 31.6 hrs and Velks = 42.2 hrs
Additional information People were making 18 man raids and doing BoT grind for as long as the quest has been out if Im not mistaken(it is a task, thereby allowing that from quest implementation), correct me if im wrong. It just creates and very large gap between those who already used the quest to get what they need and those starting their augs.
I also believe in T6 mob drop 75k bags of plat, making things a bit easier when you get to that tier.
SuggestionMake the UC a flag that allows for the creation of a group task in BoT that is repeatable to slightly lessen the grind for the additional augs. This would allow for the first UC to be a big grind that allowed you to gain access to a more efficient way to gain plat for the augs needed on other chars/etc; while still being in line with server progression - it in fact encourages it.
How is that for being lazy? As I said this post was more directed toward hunter. All of the math is here to look at though, and ultimately it would be his call.
Cheers!
